17beta-estradiol stimulates proliferation of spermatogonia in experimental cryptorchid mice.
AIM To investigate whether estrogen stimulates the proliferation of spermatogonia or induces spermatogenesis in cryptorchid mice. METHODS Mice were surgically rendered cryptorchid, then treated with different doses of 17beta-estradiol (E2) s.c. once a day. Mice were killed at sexual maturity (45 days of age), and histological analysis and immunofluorescence were performed. Serum follicle stim...
متن کاملEstradiol-17beta stimulates proliferation of mouse embryonic stem cells: involvement of MAPKs and CDKs as well as protooncogenes.
Although the importance of estradiol-17beta (E(2)) in many physiological processes has been reported, to date no researchers have investigated the effects of E(2) on embryonic stem (ES) cell proliferation. Therefore, in the present study, we have examined the effect of E(2) on the DNA synthesis of murine ES (ES-E14TG2a) cells and its related signaling pathways. The results of this study show th...
متن کاملRetinoic acid stimulates 17beta-estradiol and testosterone synthesis in rat hippocampal slice cultures.
The hippocampus is essentially involved in learning and memory processes. Its functions are affected by various neuromodulators, including 17beta-estradiol, testosterone, and retinoid. Brain-synthesized steroid hormones act as autocrine and paracrine modulators. The regulatory mechanism underlying brain steroidogenesis has not been fully elucidated. Synthesis of sex steroids in the gonads is st...
متن کاملEvaluation of the effects of 17beta-estradiol (17beta-e2) on gene expression in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis using DNA microarray.
The aim of this study was to identify immune-related genes affected by treatment with 17beta-estradiol (17beta-E2) that contribute to protection of T cell antigen receptor double transgenic mice from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The Affymetrix microarray system was used to screen more than 12,000 genes from E2-treated mice protected from EAE vs. control mice with severe EAE....
متن کامل17Beta-estradiol treatment profoundly down-regulates gene expression in spinal cord tissue in mice protected from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
It is now well documented that experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) can be effectively prevented by estrogen therapy. Previously, we identified a limited set of genes that were altered in spleens of mice protected from EAE by 17beta-estradiol (E2) treatment. As a continuation of these studies, we present here transcriptional changes in genes expressed in spinal cord tissue. The Affym...
